Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240178419 titled 'Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Same

Simplified Explanation

The embodiment method of controlling a fuel cell electric vehicle involves determining the required output power amount of a fuel cell stack based on the total required output power amount of a battery and the fuel cell stack, considering an output power distribution ratio of the fuel cell stack according to the current state of charge (SOC) value of the battery, and then controlling the operation of the fuel cell stack based on this required output power amount.

  • The method involves calculating the output power distribution ratio of the fuel cell stack based on the SOC value of the battery.
  • The fuel cell stack operation is adjusted based on the calculated required output power amount of the fuel cell stack.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in fuel cell electric vehicles to optimize the power distribution between the battery and the fuel cell stack, leading to improved efficiency and performance.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient power management in fuel cell electric vehicles. 2. Optimizing the operation of the fuel cell stack based on the state of charge of the battery.

Benefits

1. Enhanced overall efficiency of the fuel cell electric vehicle. 2. Extended battery and fuel cell stack lifespan. 3. Improved performance and driving range of the vehicle.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized power management systems for fuel cell electric vehicles.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing methods of power distribution management in electric vehicles, but specific techniques for determining the required output power amount of a fuel cell stack based on the SOC value of the battery may be novel.
